Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Wheel works great as expected. Fast shipping and quality products!

etrailer went above and beyond to help me get a wheel i needed in a very short period of time. etrailer associates kept me in the loop the whole shipping process to ensure i received it when needed. highly recommend them for your wheel purchases. It’s hard to find companies going above and beyond to help customers and etrailer certainly went above and beyond to help me in a desperate time of need. Thank you guys very much!

After careful consideration I purchased 5 16x6 Dexstar wheels for my enclosed car trailer. While installing the tires you could clearly SEE on the spin balancer that 2 of the rims "not tires" were out of round and required additional weight 3.75/2.25 to bring them into balance which is more than normal. I am uncertain of the factory tolerance however I would not recommend these wheels to a friend. If I had more time I would return. This was the reason I wanted to by wheels made in the USA and not ones made across the pond.

Don't have a picture but the product that I bought was just as expected and worked great. I would suggest shopping with Etrailer to everyone.

Ask the Experts about this Dexstar Trailer Tires and Wheels

First of all your tire size, 215/85-16 sounds like it's a passenger vehicle tire and not a trailer tire. Trailer tire sizes begin with "ST" for special trailer. I recommend using ST tires because they have a stiffer sidewall to handle the vertical load of a trailer. If your tires are trailer tires then you're good to go. But if they aren't I would get some trailer tires. The exception is that some LT tires can be used on trailers. Your 7.50-16's that you had were likely LT tires like...view full answer...

All available 16-inch trailer wheels with the 6-on-5-1/2 bolt pattern, such as Dexstar # AM20741 that you referenced, can be seen on the link provided. Most of these wheels are rated for 3050-lbs at 90-psi pressure.
Part # AM22657 from Americana is rated for 3200-lbs at 80-psi; parts # AM22658HWTB and # AM22658HWT are rated for 3580-lbs at 80-psi, which is the highest rating we offer. The valve stem used can also affect overall pressure.
If your trailer itself is rated for 36000-lbs...view full answer...

According to Dexstar Wheel, the # AM20741 wheel has a maximum load rating of 3050 lbs at 90 psi. So, 90 psi would be the maximum air pressure. We recommend using # AM20906 for a valve stem.
I'll link you to our trailer tire/wheel FAQ article, which I hope you'll find helpful.view full answer...

The load capacity and air pressure rating for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, part # AM20741, and the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel - 16 x 6 Inch Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, part # AM20758, is 3,050 lbs at 90 psi.
If this is for a trailer, the 265/75-16 tire size is usually not available in a trailer tire. The special trailer (ST) tires are designed with stronger sidewalls and can handle higher air pressures which are needed when being used on a trailer...view full answer...

At this time we do not carry 16 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern or a lower profile tire. You would be best suited to stay with a 15 inch wheel and the highest rated tire available bias ply tire for 15 inch wheels, like the Karrier ST225/75D15 Bias Ply Trailer Tire - Load Range D, item # AM1ST96. This will give you a set of tires that are rated higher than the trailer axles so you will not have to worry about overloading the tires, unless the trailer itself is overloaded. Bias ply tires...view full answer...

At this time we do not carry a load range E 15 inch trailer tire to replace the tires on your trailer.
The ST225/75R15 trailer tires we carry, item # AM10256, have a capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi, and should be sufficient for the axle and components on your trailer. Going to a higher capacity tire could possibly make other components on the the weakest link and subject to fail.
One tip we can offer, if you are experiencing premature tire wear or blow outs, is to check the weight...view full answer...

The wheel you are looking for is our part number # AM20741. This is a 16 inch rim with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern with a 3,050 lb capacity per wheel.
For this wheel with a ST235/85R16 tire mounted you would want the part # AM32764.view full answer...

We offer a 15 inch diameter by 6 inch wide white spoked wheel in a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, part # AM20522, but none of our vendors offer a 16 inch wheel with that bolt pattern.
Generally, 16 inch wheels are used on larger trailers that have heavier axles that use a different bolt pattern like 6 on 5-1/2 or 8 on 6-1/2.view full answer...

I have just the special trailer tire for you. Take a look at Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire, # AM10303. A higher rated tire like this load range E-rated radial will run cooler while its radial design will give you better handling. Part # AM10303 has a maximum load capacity of 2,830-lbs at 80-psi inflation.
Always run a trailer tire at its maximum rated psi pressure as shown on the tire sidewall.

Trailer tires should be replaced about every 6 or 7 years, even if the tread is still in good shape. As tires age, they can crack and dry rot. Continuing to use the existing tires would be dangerous.
If you'd care to reply with the current size of the tires you have, I'd be happy to make a recommendation.

I checked the Keystone RV website for specs on their 2004 Mountaineer 33RLBS Travel Trailer but no information was available on it or the tires/wheels specified for OEM use. Still, we can help you with a wheel only, or with a wheel/tire combination if that is what you prefer.
I have provided two links you can click on. One will show you wheels only in the 6 on 5-1/2-inch bolt pattern and the other will show you wheel/tire combinations. In either case you have several options in wheel...view full answer...

Thank you for the photo of your Rockwood Signature 5th wheel.
You can change your 5th wheel's ST225/75R/15 Load Range C radial tires to a higher Load Range (D or E) if you like but this will not necessarily increase the trailer's gross weight rating unless the tires are the lowest-rated component.
Moving to a higher-capacity tire can reduce the tires' operating temperature and this can be beneficial since heat is a trailer tire's worst enemy. You will want to ensure your spare is...view full answer...

Looks like the part # AM20741 would be the correct rim for you to use. This is a 16 inch diameter wheel like what the tire size you listed indicated plus it has a 6 lug bolt pattern like the picture of your wheel shows.view full answer...

A higher Load Range E tire is going to have a larger load capacity, which will technically allow the tire to run a bit cooler under load during travel. A radial tire will also do a better job of running cooler than a bias ply alternative. Since excessive heat is the primary cause of trailer tire failure going up a bit in capacity isn't a bad idea at all.
Based on my research it looks like your 2014 Crossroads Cruiser uses ST235/80R16 size tires. If this is correct I recommend the Provider...view full answer...

The valve stem I would recommend for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 that you referenced is the part # AM20906. This valve stem will fit the wheel and can handle 100 psi and greater.
The rim hole diameter this valve stem is designed to fit is .625".
I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.view full answer...

Yes, a negative offset moves the tire further away from the axle/trailer, while a positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer.
Most of the trailer wheels we carry have a zero offset, which means that the the mounting surface is on the same plane as the center line of the wheel. This is done to equalize the weight of the trailer load. The offset of our wheels is listed under "Specs." For instance, the offset for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 is listed as...view full answer...

I have both a 15 inch wheel and a 16 inch wheel that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The center hole pilot diameter on both sizes is 4.27 inches. The center hole is larger so it will work for you if your trailer has wheel studs on the hub and uses lug nuts to attach the wheel to the hub.
You will want to replace your wheel with the exact same size wheel as your other wheel(s).
In 15 inch wheels I have the Dexstar White Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15 x 6 Rim - 6 on 5-1/2, # AM20532,...view full answer...

The highest weight capacity available for a 15 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-/12 inch bolt pattern is 2,830 lbs.
You will need to use a 16 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern to get a wheel that has a 3,000-lb or higher weight capacity. I have the Dexstar Conventional 16 x 6 Steel Wheel, part # AM20758, that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and a weight capacity of 3,040 lbs at 80 psi.
Also available is the Dexstar 16 x 6 White Spoke Steel Wheel, part # AM20741. This is...view full answer...

The size of your wheel on your 2006 Forest River Cherokee is going to be 16 inch diameter by 6 inches wide with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 which would fit and work well.
I attached a review video for this wheel for you to check out as well.view full answer...

The tires that you have now, ST225/75R15, are 28.4 inches tall and 8 inches wide. The larger ST235/85R16 are 31.6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide.
You would need enough space all around the existing tires to use the larger size. Only half of the difference is applied towards the trailer from the sidewall and above the tire tread to a fender or trailer body. That means that you would need more than 1.6 inches above the tread and more than 0.625 inches between the sidewalls and the trailer...view full answer...

We have two options of white spoke trailer wheels that are 16 x 6 with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern; the Taskmaster # 660655WS1 and the Dexstar # AM20741. The largest difference between them is their weight capacity. The Taskmaster is rated up to 3,500 pounds while the Dexstar is only rated to 3,050 pounds. The Taskmaster also has an extra step in the finish by adding a zinc phosphate bath to the e-coat and poweder coat.
The Dexstar rim also needs a valve stem. Use part # AM20907. ...view full answer...

Dexstar does not make that directional wheel in a 16 inch option. It is only available in 13 inch, 14 inch, and 15 inch options.
I've attached the link to all your wheel options for the 16 inch wheels with the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you are seeking so you can see all your options. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20746 or the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 are probably the closest in style.view full answer...

We have wheels that work for you but the Dexstar # AM20741 isn't wide enough for your tires. A 245/75 R16 size tire needs at least a 6-1/2 inch wide rim. We carry a few 16 inch wheels that are that wide, such as # AM22657.
You may be better off going with a 235/80 R16, like # AC16R6WS, which is basically the same diameter as the 245/75 R16 size. You will also have the benefit of a trailer tire with a thicker sidewall instead of the LT truck tires. Some LT tires are rated for trailer...view full answer...

Sounds like you are either asking for the pilot diameter (the diameter of the hole in the middle of the wheel), which is 3.65 inches, or you are asking about the bolt pattern of the wheel which is 6 on 5-1/2 inch.
The backspacing is 3-1/2 inches and there are no hub caps available for this wheel.
The closest thing to a white version of this wheel would be the part # AM20741, but it has a larger pilot diameter at 4.27 inches.view full answer...

I have a solution for you, but since we do not have any tire/wheel combos available with a 7.5 x 16 tire you will need to purchase them separately.
The Kenda Light Truck K391M # AM10418 is a 7.5-16LT tire that matches your existing tire and can be paired with the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 to give you a complete spare tire package. These wheels will work perfectly for your trailer and provide you with the similar look to your existing wheels at a reasonable price.

I believe your best option would be the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02. This has a 3,500 lb capacity, has a 4 inch lift which will help you while off-roading, and is designed for wider tires. Whether or not your tire will clear will depend largely on the offset of the wheels you are using.
With a hub installed on the spindle there will be a clearance of 8 inches from the hub face to the frame of the trailer with this kit installed. You will have to determine...view full answer...

We would need to know how big the current brakes are. 10x2-1/4 or 12x2 etc.
Sometimes you can re-use the drums from hydraulic brakes for electric brakes, sometimes not. If you are going to go ahead and replace the drums, we would need to know inner and outer bearing numbers. These are stamped right on the bearings. We would also need the bolt pattern of the drums. I have added a link to a wheel page that shows you how to measure bolt pattern at the bottom.
